A Twitter user with the handle @ArmyVet54 posted Cruz’s Houston home address and other statements, including, “Take down Ted Cruz, at his home,” and “What goes around comes around CRUZ,” on their account, according to The Hill.

The Twitter user identifies himself as Troy Gilmore Jr. and says he has served in the U.S. Navy and Army.

The account has since been deleted.

A spokesman for the Capitol Police said they are looking into the matter, according to The Hill.
